Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a superconductive cable containing several wire strands sheathed by a highly resistive, non-magnetic, thermally conductive material.
  • Each wire strand consists of a plurality of twisted wires with each wire containing a plurality of filaments of a superconductive material embedded in a matrix material.
  • the structure of a superconductive cable made of wires containing very thin filaments of a superconductive material embedded in a matrix material is advantageous because wires of this kind have relatively minor magnetic instabilities and low magnetic losses in the filaments.
  • this advantage is countered by a disadvantage in that the magnetic fields created by the filaments whenever the current is switched on and by any other time-variable, changing magnetic fields, act to induce eddy currents in the normally conductive matrix material even at extremely low temperatures. These induced currents partially flow within the superconductive filaments and, for this reason, are very slow to disappear.
  • each wire and each stranded wire are sheathed by a material having a high resistance.
  • This high resistance material must not be magnetic and should have good thermal conductivity such that the magnetic field created by the current in the superconductive filaments is not impeded and the heat created in the wires may be carried away easily.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a novel superconductive cable for use with very high level currents in which the losses caused by induced currents are low, and which permits maximum cooling of the entire cross section of the cable.
  • the present invention achieves this objective for a cable of the initially described type, whose wire strands are twisted or interlaced to form stranded wire bundles, which divide the cross section of the cable in a circular or a sectoral direction, and whereby each bundle of stranded wires has a sheath made of a high resistance, non-magnetic, heat-conductive material.
  • One preferred embodiment of the novel cable of the present invention has its cross-section divided in a circular manner by the stranded wire bundles and contains twisted wires in many steps which makes it possible to reduce the losses by induced currents to an extent heretofore not possible.
  • the wires of each strand are preferably twisted about a coolant channel which makes it possible to achieve an even temperature across the entire cable cross section, even in cables with large cross sections.
  • the cable of the present invention have the cross section of the cable divided in segments by the stranded wire bundles, each equally containing multistage twisted wires and, optionally, twisted or interlaced wire strands. It is this last embodiment in particular which makes it possible, to completely and systematically transpose the wires, or the wire strands, respectively, within a bundle of stranded wires, i.e., to regularly interchange the inner and outer wires, or wire strands, respectively, along the length of the cable, which suppresses the losses by induced currents still more effectively than a multiple twisting according to another embodiment.
  • the wires are twisted about a coolant channel, or else at least one coolant channel is provided for each bundle of wire strands.
  • the space between the wires and/or strands of wires and/or bundles of strands of wires may be filled by solder, or these spaces may be used as additional channels for a coolant, which permits a particularly effective multiple current cooling.
  • FIGS. 1a through 1c are cross-sections through various wire strands containing several twisted or interlaced wires according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows part of a cross-section through a cable according to the present invention, the wire strands of which divide the cross-section in a circular arrangement;
  • FIG. 3 shows part of a cross-section through a cable according to the present invention, the wire strands of which divide the cross-section in segments;
  • FIGS. 4a through 4g show sections of various embodiments of wire strand bundles which are suitable for the construction of a cable of the present invention as shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1a a cross section of a symetrically stranded wire 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown.
  • the wire strand comprises a copper pipe 11 having a bore 12 provided as conduit pipe or as a channel for the coolant. Around this pipe and adjacent thereto several wires 13 are twisted. Each of these wires consists of a matrix material embedded with a plurality of very thin filaments made of a superconductive material. Each wire is twisted about its own axis.
  • wire strand 10 is provided with a sheathing 14 consisting of a foil of a highly electrically resistive, non-magnetic, thermally conductive material which surrounds the wires.
  • the free space between the wires 13, the outer wall of the pipe 11, and the inside wall of the sheathing 14 respectively, may be filled with solder or it may be utilized as an additional flow-channel for the coolant.
  • the outside diameter of the copper pipe is 2 mm and its inner diameter is 1.2 mm.
  • Each wire contains 66 filaments made of NbTi superconductive material embedded in a matrix of Cu-CuNi. The diameter of each filament is 30 ⁇ and the diameter of the entire wire is 0.4 mm.
  • the sheathing is made of a non-magnetic CuNi foil having an electrical resistivity of approximately 3 ⁇ 10 -7 OHM-meter.
  • the foil may be wrapped around the strand of wires like a ribbon with the edges abutting or overlapping. It is possible to use thin wire in place of the foil.
  • a soldering material of PbSn with an electrical resistivity of about 10 -8 OHM-meter may be used to fill out the interstices.
  • FIG. 1b is a cross-section of a second embodiment of the present invention showing a wire strand 15 having an asymetrical cross section.
  • the wire strand contains two bundles of stranded wires 16, 17, each containing a plurality of wires 18 which are twisted about a central wire 19. Both of these bundles are twisted with a copper pipe 20, the latter being used as coolant channel.
  • Each bundle of stranded wires has a sheathing 21, 22, respectively.
  • Wire strand 15 is formed by the two wire bundles and the copper pipe, and is enclosed by a sheath 23.
  • the copper pipe 20 may be replaced by a suitable copper wire to serve for the stabilization of the wire strand.
  • the spaces 25, 26, between the wires and their sheathings, or between the wire bundles and the sheathings of the strands, respectively, may be filled with solder or may be utilized as additional flow channels for the coolant.
  • FIG. 1c is a cross section of a third embodiment of the present invention showing an asymetrically designed stranded wire 30.
  • This wire strand consists of a thick-walled copper pipe 31, the bore 32 of which is being used as channel for the coolant.
  • the wall of the pipe has a recess 33, in the shape of an annular segment, into which a ribbon 34 of at least two layers of interlaced wires 36 has been inserted.
  • a sheathing 37 is placed around the ribbon 34, made of interlaced wires, and an additional sheathing 38 is placed around the entire wire strand. Both sheaths consist of highly resistive material.
  • the wire strands shown in FIGS. 1a through 1c are advantageous in that the coolant flows through the cable in the immediate proximity of the wires containing the superconductive filaments, while the coolant channel, which is formed by the copper pipe, offers only minor flow resistance. This affords good stabilization against thermic interferences, a good utilization of the specific heat of the coolant, and a relatively negligible pressure drop of the coolant within the channels. These advantages are particularly evident whenever supercritical helium is used as a coolant.
  • wires, bundles of wires, coolant channels, and stabilizing wires may be formed into strands other than as shown. It is also to be understood that wires, filaments, and coolant channels may have dimensions other than those described for the above embodiments, and that materials other than those mentioned above may be utilized.
  • FIG. 2 is a partial cross-section through a cable where the stranded wire bundles are positioned to divide the cross section in an annular arrangement.
  • the cable contains a center strand 40 about which is twisted a first bundle of strands 41.
  • a second bundle of stranded wires 42 is twisted around the first stranded wire bundle 41, and a third bundle of wires 43 is twisted around the former.
  • the center strand 40 and each of the three bundles of stranded wires are provided with sheaths 45, 46, 47 and 48, respectively, consisting of a highly resistive material.
  • the wire strands are enclosed in a two-part steel sleeve 50, 51. The two parts of this sleeve are welded together along a welding seam 52.
  • the sleeve has a second welding seam, which is not shown, located at 180° from the seam 52.
  • Each of the two parts of the sleeve has a recess 53, 53' in the area of the proposed welding seam.
  • the recesses together form a coolant channel.
  • This channel is fed a coolant during the welding of the two sleeve parts, in order to prevent inadmissible heating of the bundle of wire strands, or of the strands of wires or wires, respectively.
  • the steel sleeve provides effective protection for the bundles of stranded wires and the wire strands from mechanical damage and it absorbs all tensile stresses affecting the cable, in particular in the longitudinal direction.
  • the steel sleeve is surrounded by an insulating layer 54, preferably consisting of plastic foils and fiber glass ribbons.
  • each wire strand is provided with a coolant channel which permits the maintaining of a relatively uniform temperature across the entire cross section of the cable.
  • the empty space between the wires of each wire strand and between the strands of each bundle of wire strands, as, for instance, the spaces 55, 56, may be filled with solder or may be utilized as coolant channels. The latter procedure permits a very effective multiple current cooling with a very minor flow resistance to the coolant.
  • the bundles of wire strands in this embodiment consist of wire strands positioned in an annular arrangement and twisted about the axis of the annulus.
  • This embodiment has an advantage in that it may be relatively easily manufactured.
  • this embodiment does not permit a transposition of the individual wire strands, i.e., an exchange of the wire strands running close to the axis with those running along the rim of the cable in the longitudinal direction, to most effectively suppress the induction currents within the cable.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial cross section of a cable in which the bundles of wire strands divide the cross section of the cable in segments.
  • a steel rope 60 is arranged in the center of the cable thereby markedly increasing the tensile strength of the cable. Twisted around this steel rope are several bundles of stranded wires 62, 63, each having cross sections in the shape of a sector of a circle.
  • Each bundle of stranded wires contains several stranded wires 64, 65, 66, etc., with each wire being provided with a sheathing 68, 69, 70 of a highly resistive, heat-conductive material.
  • Wire strand bundles of this type having transposed strands of wires are particularly well suited for cables intended for the windings of magnets with periodically changing energizing currents, or for cables, respectively, which are under the influence of a changing magnetic field.
  • Each stranded wire bundle is enclosed in a sheathing 72, 73 of a highly resistive, good heat conducting material.
  • the bundles of stranded wires as in the embodiment according to FIG. 2, are welded into a steel sleeve 74, which is surrounded by an insulating layer 75.
  • the empty spaces for instance, the free spaces 77, 78, 79 between the wires of each strand, between the strands, and between the bundles of wire strands, may be filled with solder, or may be used as additional cooling channels.
